A PROJECT which has helped hundreds of Sefton people out of unemployment will be celebrated at Bootle town hall on Thursday.

The Threshold To Work scheme, run by Connexions, tackles second and third generation worklessness across all ages.

A similar scheme aimed at getting teenage mothers back into training will also be recognised.

Greater Merseyside Connexions Sefton project manager Paul White said: “Re-engaging young mums with training and employment will help them provide a stable and secure environment for both mother and child.”
